Residents of the capital have developed their own colloquial way of using words to describe situations or phrases that outsiders sometimes struggle to wrap their head around.
Hearing words like ‘Reeking’ or ‘Chum’ would not throw an Auld Reekie local off their stride but to the uninitiated it can leave them baffled and puzzled.
Our unique way with words is often a comfort to native sons and daughters of the capital but we learned from our West Coast reporter, Angus, that they can be confusing for not only tourists but also our fellow Scots.
